Funny that, since I said in my OP, I'm Canadian.

The fact you even think that I called you stupid, rather than the President of the United States stupid, says all I need to know about you. Have a great day.

No, as you cannot use your debit card for online credit card interactions.

You can't use a debit card to buy things off Amazon.

So where is America getting a lot of their foreign special metals? Last I checked a lot of particular components needed to build modern vehicles literally don't exist in America.

If you wanted to build just a car from 1968, absolutely you could. But the technology in cars now-a-days comes from materials that literally do not exist in the continental USA. You need to import them. And Canada has a lot of it. So even the suggestion that you don't need Canada is not only ignorant as hell but completely stupid.

Fuck that. Reload in the middle of the arena. Assert dominance.

Some people like quick games, rather than waiting 20 minutes just to get sniped.

Right?

If I had no intention on buying your product, you didn't lose money.

If I pirate your product, you still didn't lose any money as I still had no intention on buying your product.

Are we so out of touch?

No, it was Plato who was wrong.

Oh cars will get more expensive, but you think America will lean towards public transit? Auto manufacturers will just bitch and moan about how they can't sell their $145,000 entry level sedan, and the government will just bail them out with your tax money.

What, you don't want to pay $1500 a month for a Ford Focus?

In Canada we have Interac E-transfer for transferring funds from our standard chequing accounts to private businesses or people we're buying things off of. We also have "virtual credit cards" that are just a CC number with an exp date and CVV that we can use for online purchases and that money comes out of our regular back account without the need for a credit account.

Most people still have and use Credit Cards but we are far less reliant on them here. Most of them time if someone has one it's for the perks that card gives, like cash back on purchases or points for rewards like gift cards, tools, vacations, etc.
